Central Railway has announced a special traffic mega block on 30th March 2025, scheduled from 1:30 AM to 4:30 AM. The block will take place between Ambarnath and Badlapur to facilitate the removal of girders from an old road over bridge and the construction of a new pipeline bridge. Passengers traveling during this period should expect major disruptions and diversions in both long-distance and local train services.
Special Traffic Mega Block on 30th March 2025
Several long-distance trains will be diverted via the Karjat-Panvel-Diva route to accommodate the construction work. Some of the affected trains include the Bhubaneswar-CSMT Konark Express, Visakhapatnam-Lokmanya Tilak Terminus Express, Hussain Sagar-Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus Superfast Express, Hosapete-CSMT Express, and Chennai-CSMT Express.
Passengers traveling to Kalyan should also be aware that some long-distance trains will halt at Thane instead of Kalyan to reduce inconvenience. Meanwhile, the Secunderabad-Rajkot Express and the Tirunelveli-Dadar Express will have regulated stops at Vangani and Neral, respectively. More mail and express trains may also experience delays or diversions based on operational requirements.
Local train services in the Mumbai region will also be significantly impacted during the special traffic mega block on 30th March 2025. While specific cancellations have not yet been announced, passengers should expect service disruptions. Some trains may be diverted to slower tracks, which could lead to longer travel times.
Travelers relying on Mumbai’s local trains should plan for delays, as diverted services may have additional stops and operate at reduced speeds. In previous instances of similar blocks, authorities have arranged alternative transport like buses at key stations. Commuters should check for updates regarding any such arrangements during this period.
The special traffic mega block on 30th March 2025 is necessary to ensure the safe and timely completion of construction work between Ambarnath and Badlapur. However, it is expected to cause temporary difficulties for passengers. Those traveling on this day are advised to check official railway updates and plan their journeys accordingly.
Passengers should also consider using alternative routes or adjusting their travel times to avoid inconvenience. As always, real-time updates will be available through Central Railway’s official channels, and commuters should stay informed to minimize disruptions to their plans.
